Queer Custom in the House of Commons.
T. q. Crawford. In New York World.
From day to day l am discovering interesting
customs of the ancient times which still prevail
in London. At the House of Commons access to
the gallery for unofficial personages is not easy.
There is much formality of waiting to be gone
through with that ones patience is sorely tried
If he has not written in advance for an order.
The other night was waiting in the lobby for
a member to come out when / two boys,
with shovel board caps cooked their ears
and with black cloaks flowing back over their
narrow shoulders, walk by the guards with a
swaeeer that was very amusing The police
men did not stop them. l heard one of the I'M
derstrappers at the door mutter under his breath:
what himpudence of them brats!' then made
inquiries and found that the boys who attended
the Westminster school. in the neighborhood of
the House of Parliament, have had from time
immemorial the right of free and unquestIoned
admission to the galleries. They are the only
people in England who have this right and you
may be sure that they make the most of it. The
funkies about the door happy
when they guarding these galleries to keep
out the outside public These merry faced.
staggering lads never miss opportunity of
showing their superiority and their rank. While,
at the time they fail to indicate. aisle
their burning contempt for the flunkies, who arc
powerless to check their admission, for tho boys
are absolutely protected in their right through
this ancient custom.

LAMONr.s MISSION.
He Went to See Daniel Manning on Political
Business.


The secret of the trip Colonel Lamont made
away from Washington is now apparent He
has gone to Long Beach. ostensibly TO see II his
wife and children, who left Washington on
Wednesday. got there safely. but In reality to
see Dan Manning, the ex Secretary OF the Treas
ury. who is now adiourning at the sea shore for
his health Cleveland is very anxious to retain
Mannings influence for his canvass next year,
and Manning has been arrayed against Gov
ernor Hill for the past two years the hope is in
dulged that he will keep on IN the same way.
at least until the next presidential campaign is
at an end The situation, in view of recent
developments, is not any too inviting Tor
second term of the present administration.
Aside from the attitude OF the United Labor
party and the opposition to Cleveland among
the Democratic leaders in New York, there was
an article in the New York Sun few days ago
that troubled Cleveland aud his friends. This
article-in leading editoriai-recalled General
Bragg's famous remark in the Chicago conven-
tion when he stated that he loved Cleveland for
the enemies he had made, by that meaning the
hosts of Tammany Hail. Taking the Bragg
speech for a text, it was argued that Cleveland
had in the past gained his chief success by the
resentment one class of his friends bore to an
other Prominent supporters OF the administra-
ton realize that sort of thing, for If Cleveland
keeps he will have made enemies of the entire
Democratic party. and perhaps even the mug
wumps will not stick. That Cleveland would
snub his friends worse if IN his second term no
doubts. He would be too independent to
suit anybody, and the fear of this result makes
many leading Democrats who have not been able
to get much patronage under the administration
extremely indifferent to his future success. But
the President thinks himself solid with the peo-
pie, and he not for the politicians. even If
they have an influence in setting up the pins for
a convention. Dan Manning has been his main
stay in all the past, and it is Dan Manning's adj
vice he seeks TO help him out of the diff
culties that beset him. He knows that all the
news which all his 1atterers have brought to
him at the White House has been good news,
and now he wants to know what Dan Manning.
who has mingled somewhat with the people and
politicians thinks of the situation. Colonel La
mont will be with Manning over Sunday and
on Tuesday will rejoin his chief at Cazenovia
and come on with the President and his wife to
Washington.

CUSTOMS DUTY BY MAIL.

Some Interesting Facts About Books and
Samples from Foreign Countries.
New York Commercial Advertiser.

about which little is heard, but which is of con-
siderable Importance, is the customs department
The rules of the postal union do not permit the
same freedom in sending merchandise from one
country to another exists in the individual
countries in the union. and it is only since 1879
that any merchandise has been permitted in the
mails from one country to another: Printed
matter and samples of merchandise are now
admitted. Under the head of printed matter
come books and engravings, music and photo
graphs, but unless the books are at least twenty
years old they must pay the regular duty. The
general public does not seem yet to have found
out about this change. This class of interna-
tonal postal business is, nevertheless, rapidly
increasing. For several years it has increased
fully thirty three per cent year. Last year
almost 168. 600 dutiable books were examined at
the New York postoffice alone.
This department is under tho charge Of John
q. Mitchell. on the fourth floor of the postoffce.
About smuggling, Mr.. Mitchell said recently:
Il think very little attempt is made to smuggle
goods through the postofice. The chances for
successfully concealing valuable articles in pack
ages containing books are slight. for every such
package is separately and carefully examined.
Sending silks or laces in ordinary letters is
equally out of the question. Ev0n in the most

On HIS Dignity.
New Lonaon Telegraph.

NHW
The passengers on the midnight Lake Shore
train TO New York the other night were aware
that soon after leaving New Haven the train
had met with some accident IL was found that
o man had been hit and knocked into the air and
supposedly killed The train was stopped,
backed to the scene OF the accident, and the
body found resting by the side OF the track.
The officials Of the train proceeded to lift it
when q vigorous kicking from the supposed
corpse caused them TO desist.
'Lemme alone" cried the corpse.
Didn't We hit youi" asked the conductor.
"Of course you did, now femme alone"
When the officer insisted that the man should
get up and leave tho track he said he wasn't
hurt, but he wouldn't leave till he blanksd
pleased. and he stayed there till tho train was
on it's way out Of sight of him.

MIR. spARKs,s QUEER METHODS.

What Is Said of the Land Commissioners in
Far-OR Arizona.
Tucson fAri.) Special.
The extent to which favoritism may be carried
in Office could not be better illustrated than in
the of c. E. Daley. who appointed
register of the United States land Office here
by President Cleveland. but who was rejected
by the Senate. DALEY is from Illinois, and is
personal friend of Land missioner Sparks,
and it was through the personal efforts of
Sparks that Daley nominated. The SEN
ate no doubt, had good reasons for the rejection
OF the nomination. but even beyond the reasons
Republican Senate may have possessed. Daley is
Republican of the straight-out kind and his ap-
pontment gave great offense to the Democrats Of
Arizona. 1t was never even claimed for him that
he was 8 mugwamp, but it was simply
a fancy of Commissioners Sparks that he should
have the Office regardless of all previous condi-
tions or circumstances. When Daley was nom-
mated his predecessor, Dr. B. NJ. Thomas, went
to New Mexico and DALEY continued to hold the
Office, after his rejection by the Senate Finally
A. d. Duff was appointed and confirmed. and
the question Immediately arose as to who should
turn over the Office to him. According to all
presidents that duty should have fallen to Dr.
Thomas. Incumbent until his successor was duly
confirmed and qualified. and he came on from
New Mexico to perform that duty, but Sparks in
tie meantime had appointed DALEY chief clerk
in charge, and ordered him to turn the Office
to Duff, thus ignoring Thomas altoge Their. If
Thomas were authorized to turn the Office
he would be entitled to all the salary
and emoluments of the position since being
turned out Tho effort OF Commissioner
Sparks was to cut him out OF this and
give the pay to Daley, and on this there grew up
little personal controversy The conduct Of
Commissioner Sparks in SO persisteutly backing
up Daley is most severely criticised here. 1t
was rebuke enough when Daley rejected
by the Senate. It clear an indication as
could be given that Daley, though a consistent
Republican, was not deemed fit man by Re-
publican Senate to hold tho Office If Daley
succeeds in getting tho salary from the time he
was appointed it will have been accomplished by
a resort to very questionable methods, to say the
